It covers:

  • Planning an open publication: guiding principles and considerations
  • Preparing your manuscript: style and licence requirements; keeping track of your project; inclusivity and accessibility; creating your manuscript; academic integrity; and quality and peer review
  • Working with the UniSQ Open Educational Practices Team: the role of authors, and the role of the UniSQ Open Educational Practices Team.
  • Writing and designing your open text
  • Promoting and evaluating the impact of your open text.
